It's been a while since i used fedora but last i remember dnf was awe fully slow compared to pacman. In fact so slow that i was wondering if there was some kind of bug somewhere. Glad this is being addressed.
Fedora is imho the best distribution to get someone to use Linux for the first time. It works so well.
In this case it's a giant housing shortage though. The city (and large surrounding area) is Freiburg in the south. Rents are so expensive and available flats are so rare that companies don't find workers who could actually live there. Also: the comparably good loans don't mean much when it's only channeled into a greedy landlord's pockets.
Edit: oh no i was wrong it's Nuremberg - their public transport organization is also "VAG".
But Freiburg has a huge labor shortage due to unaffordable housing and housing shortage.
Where would you have to touch internals in zed? In reality would you have to come into contact with rust when using Zed? If it works it wouldn't be apparent what it was build with, wouldn't it?
I've read a comparison of several newer file formats (avif, heic, webp) with jpeg-xl. The conclusion was that jpeg-xl was on par in terms of compression, sometimes better and very fast. also it can re-compress jpgs directly.
Have you been to Europe? Have you walked the streets of Paris?
The US was built with enough space being everywhere. American roads are wider, cities are mostly built like square-grids of roads built in a time when cats existed whereas European cities emerged in the middle ages. They're tightly packed with little extra space.
Sometimes (very rarely) here there are old Cadillacs that can be rented for weddings. Seeing one of these cars on the street is an unreal experience. They're just so huge. They don't fit on the streets here - and those are cars from the 60s or 70s. Everything seems tiny compared to them.
From a European perspective it's really stupid to build such large vehicles as driving and parking it is much more complicated when everything is build for small cars.
Now that SUVs are becoming popular here too it's just a really annoying. Less parking space per vehicle etc.
On cities like Paris - one of the tightest city on Europe this is just annoying.
And i haven't even written about fuel consumption.
Paris has had huge problems with smog in recent years.
I'd like to add that Paris is one of the tightest cities there is in Europe. there's just so little space already. with thousands of badly parked scooters cluttering up sidewalks people got fed up very quickly.
the vote was pretty one sided IIRC.
a Chromecast is one of those inputs. And it has been a nice product.
The reason people are mad is that they Google changed the product after they bought it significantly.
and yes. Today the only reasonable good TV is a computer monitor connected to a device I have control over.
A few years ago i spent a lot of time converting .flac-files into .ogg-files in order to put on my oldschool iPod.
As I did a lot of repetitive typing - entering $dir / for file in flac ; do convert etc / mkdir -p $somewhere/$artist/$album / mv $somewhere/.ogg->$new_dir/
and so on - I thought:
"hm lets just write a loop over loops for all the artists here and then all the albums and at the same time create the nested directories somewhere else... hm actually in the home directory.... and later love everything on the iPod at once."
so i was in my music folder with the artists-folders i wanted to convert. i did something wrong
So i did my complicated script directly in the shell. I made something wrong and instead of creating a folder "/artist/album" I created 3 folders in my current working directory: "", "artist" and "album".
hmph dammit gotta try again... but first : i have to clean up these useless folders in the current dir.
so i type of course this:
"$ rm -r ~ artist album "
after about 5 seconds of wondering why it took so long i realized my error. o_O
I stopped the running command, but it was (of course) too late and i bricked my current installation. All the half-deleted config files made or impossible to start normally and extremely tedious to repair it by hand, so i reinstalled.
only if you don't have to clean it up later.
Nobody can pee standing up without making a mess. if you think you can you've never cleaned your toilet yourself.
It has less to to with people having MBAs and much more to do with companies having shareholders. Once you're a publicly traded company there are overwhelmingly strong external forces that compell companies to increase revenue. Even if the business model is perfectly solid and it doesn't make sense to expect rising profits the shareholders only care about growth rates. On the stock market a companies value is only dependent on its growth.
Take Netflix for example. They've had so many users some years ago when they were basically the only streaming service that one might have said they reached market saturation. That would've been a money making machine that people could be content with. But since the market always needs growth it isn't enough and netflix is always trying to "innovate" or squeezie more monthly payments from the existing customer base.
cory doctorow has coined the great word "enshittification" to describe this process. And its driven by the need to grow further even though its to the detriment of the service or the customers.
In the end it's the people with the MBAs doing it. But if they're not doing it the shareholders replace them with those that do.
I worked as a projectionist in 2009 when the cinema got its first digital projector in order to be able to show Avatar in 3D.
At the start of the movie no one actually knew if it would work. Due to the movie being encrypted - with every cinema in Germany waiting eagerly for the password - No cinema was able to play the movie. But everywhere cinemas were packed with people.
Because of fuckups somewhere in this incredibly stupid system the movie was delayed about half an hour (IIRC) nationwide. With no-one knowing if it would eventually work - especially nice for the people working at the cinema having to deal with angry audience members.
At the same time the 2D 35mm film-version we also had started without any problems (it was massive and pretty dicey to carry it around).
I actually liked it. it's a really cool / scary atmosphere. I was surprised by how much i liked it as it's been ages since i even dared to watch a Netflix-produced movie.
I actually liked it and was really surprised about it. It being a Netflix produced film and all that. It was definitely a vibes movie and it excelled at that. No dense plot needed here.
